The RCVS Mind Matters Initiative is expanding its training programme.

RCVS seeks organisations and individuals to support training across four new standards. 

The RCVS Mind Matters Initiative has launched a tender for parties interested in helping to develop and deliver new its new training programme.

In a press release issued on Monday (2 August), the RCVS said that its MMI training team is already working with external organisations and individuals to update some of its existing training courses.
However, the tender is now open for interested parties to submit proposals detailing how they can support training across four new standards.

The four new standards are:

  • general awareness of mental health and wellbeing 
  • how to support others with their mental health and wellbeing 
  • looking after yourself 
  • equality, diversity, inclusion.

“All MMI training sessions are extremely well-attended, and we always get such positive feedback from participants,” commented Lisa Quigley, Mind Matters Initiative Manager. “We are excited to be expanding our training programme and are looking for partners who have experience in creating and delivering remote training sessions to work with us.

“We are looking for providers who have experience in developing training that supports participants with their mental health or teaches them how to support others with their mental wellbeing. We are also keen to hear from providers who can support us with creating training courses on improving equality and diversity in the workplace.”

Individuals and organisations wishing to submit a proposal for tender can do so by emailing Lisa Quigley, Mind Matters Initiative Manager, at l.quigley@rcvs.org.uk

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
